Title:
  [SRU] Add ability to set BMC boot flag valid bit clearing to chassis
  bootparm

Status in “ipmitool” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ipmitool” source package in Trusty:
  New

Bug description:
  [Description]

  In versions of ipmitool earlier than 1.8.14, setting the boot device
  to PXE does not work correctly. (You have to reboot within 60 seconds
  for it to apply - and that only works for some corner cases.)

  With this patch, bootflag options can be set or cleared using:
  chassis bootparam set bootflag device options={PEF, timeout, watchdog, reset, power}. Using the prefix of "no-" on any of the options sets it the other way. As part of this change, I also cleaned up the command line parsing and added messages for set bootflag

  [Test Cases]

  * With this patch bootflag options can be set or cleared by using
  chassis bootparam set bootflag device options={PEF, timeout, watchdog,
  reset, power}
